‘nope’<\/p>\n

In holdover news for the Friday box office, Jordan Peele’s nope <\/em>took a sizable 70% drop with a $5.84 million day-eight gross. That brings its domestic cume to $67.8 million, essentially tied with its $69 million production budget. Regarding second-Friday drops, it’s indeed larger than the 65% drop for Base <\/em>in March of 2019, and its likely $19 million second-weekend gross will be essentially tied with its $19.5 million (counting previews) opening day box office. As for the presumed 57% drop, that’ll be higher (but not absurdly so) than the 53% drop for nope, <\/em>albeit with much larger raw grosses. Still, the R-rated, star-lite, high-concept original will end day ten with $81 million. The surprisingly strong weekday grosses have prevented a Halloween Kills<\/em>-level crash, as the movie will cross $100 million by as early as next weekend. <\/p>\n

Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder <\/em>recovered somewhat on its fourth Friday, earning $3.751 million (-41%) to bring its cume to $292.2 million. We can expect a $13.1 million (-42%) weekend as the Taika Waititi-directed sequel passes $300 million domestic on day 24. We can talk about expectations, but Thor 4<\/em> is going to tie Thor 3<\/em> ($315 million in 2017\/$321 million adjusted) at the domestic box office as it ends up with about as much globally as Ragnarok ($712 million) sans China and Russia. Universal’s Minions: The Rise of Gru <\/em>earned $3.31 million (-37%) on Friday for a likely $11.36 million (-37%) weekend and $321 million 31-day total. it will pass minions <\/em>($336 million in 2015) in the next week or two as it aims to reach Secret Life of Pets <\/em>and Despicable Me 2<\/em>-level grosses ($365-$370 million). <\/p>\n

Paramount and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>earned another $2.4 million (-14%) on Friday for a likely $8.83 million (-14%) tenth-weekend gross. That will be the third-biggest tenth wide release weekend behind Avatar <\/em>and Titanic<\/em> (and just ahead of MEAT<\/em> from way back in 1982). It’ll also likely push Tom Cruise’s $170 million legacy sequel past $650 million domestic, putting it within a week of passing Jurassic World <\/em>($652 million in 2015) and Titanic <\/em>($659 million counting the 2012 reissue) to be the seventh-biggest domestic earner of all time. Sony’s Where the Crawdads Sing <\/em>continued to leg out by being the summer’s only \u201cbig\u201d movie for adult women. The Daisy Edgar-Jones melodrama earned $2.34 million (-26%) on Friday for a $7.61 million (-27%) weekend and a $53.61 million 17-day total. The $24 million release should pass $70 million domestic by the end. <\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Discovery’s Elvis <\/em>is also benefiting from the whole \u201cadults like to see movies in theaters too\u201d variable, earning another $1.7 million (-7%) on Friday for a likely $6 million (-9%) weekend and $129 million 38-day domestic cume. At this rate, the $85 million Austin Butler\/Tom Hanks musical biopic could reach $150 million domestically even before becoming a major awards season player. Once again, say it with me now, Warner Bros. is more than just Batman and Harry Potter. Blumhouse’s The Black Phone <\/em>earned $980,000 (-30%) on Friday for a $2.47 million (-30%) weekend and $83.1 million 38-day domestic total. Amblin’s Jurassic World Dominion<\/em>which opened in Japan this weekend ($6.2 million in two days, which is solid for the famously legggy territory), will earn $2.05 million (-34%) for a $369.5 million domestic cume as it passes The Batman<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
